What I learned on Fox this morning - soccer fans shunned from the Victims of Communism museum

This was the stupidest hour+ of TV I’ve seen in a while.

Apparently there’s now a Victims of Communism museum in DC. Dana Rohrbacher initiated this back in the early 90’s and The Heritage Foundation is running with it now - my research shows.

Their late night host guy (who’s getting crazy ratings) made a joke about the Fox N Friends show. They had Kilmeade on to joke back. That somehow lead to a discussion of the census asking for $10M to add questions about gender and sexual preference. Kilmeade simplified it with a stick person drawing asking who you like - men, woman, both.

Their black friend came on to talk about DC offering a $20K hiring bonus to potential police officers. Black friend said that wouldn’t help pay for their lawyers.

One of the hosts had been holding a soccer ball which seemed to set up taking about the 2026 FIFA World Cup host cities in North America not including DC. No one knew what the acronym FIFA stands for. The lady host (MTV’s Real World) I guess was joking when she didn’t understand why there was no “S” in it. Actually one of the hosts informed her that the rest of the world calls it football.

Ad — Mike Lindell is giving us ONE LAST CHANCE to buy slippers from him. He has a Certificate of Excellence on display during the ad. Like Michael Scott - I guess no one told Lindell about that.

Another commercial for a home school academy on line.

Then they went back and had at least 15 minutes about one of the hosts returning his Harvard degree back to the school. Earlier in the show he took his degree out of its frame and mailed it back to Harvard. Long discussion about how bad education is for kids. Their other black friend Bongino was on to promote his show tonight. They discussed a clip of Bill Clinton on the Late Late Show saying that democracy was in jeopardy. They’d never heard such talk.

I do this for you. You have no idea how mindless this is unless you watch it.

Some talk radio guy - named Rantz no less - was on to talk about an overdose clinic in Seattle not reducing overdoses. This lead to him and host lady saying that shaming drug use is worth a try. He mentioned that people smoke fentanyl on the bus. Then this Rantz guy, and his ferocious eyebrows, said enough is being put into treatment. No kidding.

Oh and another host of another show was on earlier. At the end she said her show was great. The discussion was about how more expensive houses are. Not how values have gone up. They discussed how to buy a house.

OMG they are going back to the host sending his Harvard degree back. Oh Charlie Kirk on to promote his home school academy.

There was no actual news. It was all Fox hosts talking about their show and or book.

Oh and the host guy sending back his degree. That came back up for a third time after I posted.
